Metal Gear Solid fans have been met with confusion in the last few days as to whether Guns of the Patriots will include cutscenes that last for over 90 minutes.

The rumor began at PSW magazine who claimed:

quote PSW mag

"MGS4's story is massive. The videogame equivalent of all three Godfather
movies
on one disc,"

"As you'd expect, you'll spend a lot of time watching cut-scenes, so if you found previous games' story exposition laborious, then you'd better find yourself a nice cushion and plenty of teabags in readiness for MGS4's".

This was later confirmed by computerandvideogames.com.

However Gamepro's Sid Shuman soon got hold of the rumor and was quick to cite is as false:

quote Sid

"Ninety-minute-long cinemas in MGS4 sounds like an exaggeration. Like the other
MGS games, MGS4 definitely has a cinematic quality. And yes, some of the
cut-scenes in the game are elaborate and occasionally lengthy. But not a one, to
my recollection, even approaches 90 minutes".

So who are the fans to believe? Both Sid Shuman and PSW Magazine have played and reviewed Guns of the Patriots yet both say different things.

Games Equal Life are leaning towards PSW's review for the sole reason that Shuman does not sound so sure of his reasonings.
